Happy Valentine's Day to all of You
With Valentine's Day falling on a Saturday, The phase one of Valentine's Parties started today. Mason only had one day of school this week and it was today. With Mason having one class in the morning and a different class in the afternoon, he scored a load of Valentines today. On top of his two parties,
We had a Valentine's Picnic for playgroup in between his 2 classes were he was able to feel the love even more. Plus Madison was able to have fun handing out her Valentines and eating her picnic lunch with her friends.
Having lunch with our playgroup friends. Karli (Madison's "best-est"Friend as she would say) and Breken.
Mason he is not camera shy. Showing off. He loves to see his picture in the camera after mom takes it. Just to think what it was like when you did not automatically see the picture after you took it.
The wonderful Valentine's aftermath.
Just to think the is day 1 of 3. Madison has her preschool party on Wednesday and Miles and Marcus have there party on Thursday. With there being no school on Friday. I am a lucky mom that I have so many more days of this kind of "joyful mess" . To think that we the consumer actually encourage this. I guess you can only be young once. How did the store score this year with not having a Valentine's Day but more of a Valentine's Week.
May you all have just as much fun with all your Valentine's Festivities.
Mylee loves to do tummy time but she tends to puke a bunch so for part of tummy time we put her over the boppy. So Now she does this.
She has managed to push her self over the top of the boppy. She has really strong legs. We have fingered this out in the last week.
We spent the evening of the 3rd of July at my parents house to celebrate the 4th. Because the 4th was on a Sunday we thought it was better to do our little family party on Saturday. Jim and the kids had fun playing ball and
Jumping on the Tramp.
Of course we made hand churned ice cream. I think this year Madison was the only kid who churned. The others were to busy playing ball and such.
The boys were so excited to do fireworks they worked as a team to put the stand out on the grass. Poor Marcus knows all to well how hard that stand is. Latter on in the night
When we was doing sparklers he ran right into it. And one week latter he still has quite a bump on his upper thigh.
They all seemed to have a fun time. Mom even made them a fun treat to go with their homemade ice cream
A true flag cake. they thought it was great. each slice was it's own flag.
After the fun 4th of July party we learned how sentive Mylee's skin really is. We are now double rinsing all the wash. After she broke out in a fun itchy rash all over her face. I can say it is doing better.
This is one of my favorite faces Mylee makes. Second to her smiling. She is concentrating very hard on something. Most of the time when she makes this face you better watch out as she is leaving you a present in her pants. And she does not always stay in the lines.
Yes it is true. Sweet Mylee is smiling. We love to see her smile. She is even making a few sounds. She is turning into the fun stage of infantcy. When they laugh and smile. I love it. She melts my heart daily.
Madison learned a hard lesson on Sunday. She really wanted to have a play date, but we don't do play dates on Sunday's. It is part of how we try to keep the sabbath day holy. She cried and cried for over a hour demanding to have her friend come over and play. When she stopped crying I found her on my chair asleep. I think part of why she cried so long is because she was so very tired.
We have a weekly schedule that we try to keep. With a fun thing going on almost every day. On Monday's we take a picnic lunch to a different park every week. This week we went to Edgewater the kids had a blast throwing rocks in the Green River.
All in all we had a wonderful week, with ups and downs. I keep trying to tell my self how wonderful life truly is. Some days are easier than others with 5 very active and different kids.
